Your time is coming to an end.

Your final chapter of life.

My book has consisted of you in every chapter, and now I fear that I might forget you.

I know that you can’t last forever,

I’ve always known that, but the crippling fear of you leaving me so early in in my life is cracking my heart open.

Savouring every memory we have, soaking up your last days, as I would do for the sun on the final days of summer wishing they could last forever,

Wishing they would stay, with me.

You’ve lived your life, your book consists of many chapters, lived through so many events that have shaped the world, I just joined too late.

As I spend these last few days with you, absorbing the happiness you radiate, the glue to our family, I can’t help but wonder what else life has in store for you.

Your life has been so meaningful, you’ve cherished your time in earth, lived to the fullest, oh, how I envy you.

A gentle giant.

A man who loves to make his soulmate happy, plays guitar to fill the air with beautiful notes that gently dance in our ears.

How you will be missed,

How you will be honored in many ways,

Shaped me as a person,

Taught me so much about life that makes me want to live it.

The man that I would run to if I was upset, telling me that I’m the best girl in the world for being brave.

The man that would always help me out no matter what, who would talk about my interests with me when no one was bothered.

you have made my early chapters of life perfect.

You made me feel loved,

Now that you are leaving,

Leaving to go on another journey that doesn’t include me, a new place where humans on this planet have yet not discovered, I hope that you have fun,

I hope that you relax,

Because, you, this man, that I am proud to call my grandad, will get an even happier ending,

A joy filled epilogue to his book,

Because out of all the people I know,

You have been my favourite,

A person who deserves more than this world can give.

The tsunami of grief that swallows my heart as you are now leaving this earth, cripples me.

But knowing that there is more tranquility awaiting you, keeps me stable, as I only want the best for you,

My lovely grandad.
